Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk was a fight for the ages. Tyson might have lost to Usyk but it was a world class effort from the heavyweight. Now, the air is clear and we can ask the question: Who will Tyson Fury fight next?
One surprise candidate can be UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
Jon Jones vs Tyson Fury
In 2023, UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones made highlights by revealing that fight talks with (former) WBC heavyweight champion Fury are still very much alive, And he is keen on having one clash in the cage and one in the ring.
Just ran into the GOAT @JonnyBones in Atlanta. The talks between him and @Tyson_Fury are very much real. He showed me the text messages between them.

After that, Fury and Jones have gone at each other on social media multiple times. Even though the combat sports fandom is mixed on whether the crossover super fight would actually happen or not, UFC boss Dana White also thumbed up the idea, saying that the fight would be made if both of them wants it.
“Jon Jones is the baddest dude on the planet. There is no debate, there is no denying it, you know what I mean. There is no debate, I don’t care what anybody says, everybody can try to spin it, a lot of this stuff is clickbait,” White recently told BroBible. “You know how I am. If Tyson Fury really wants to fight Jon Jones in the UFC, I will make it happen. Here’s my thing, right now to Fury, Tyson, if you’re serious, let me know. Tyson and I have a good relationship. I like Tyson Fury. If he’s serious…”
Let’s find out. We can talk all we want, Tyson can talk, Jon Jones can talk, I can talk, we can all talk. Let’s do it. If Tyson is serious, and he wants to do it, listen, I got Floyd Mayweather to fight (Conor McGregor), and we paid Floyd. We got Floyd the number he wanted. If Tyson Fury is serious, and he wants to fight Jon Jones in the UFC, let’s start talking,” he added.
What’s Next for Tyson Fury?
Fury might have lost the fight but a rematch is a very realistic possibility with Fury even claiming that Usyk won the fight on account of being a Ukrainian.
